product life cycle and identify locus of operations and target market at each stage. We also will identify the different dimensions of the international product mix with company illustrations and examine the new product development process and the activities involved at each stage in international markets. Finally we will also will examine the degrees of product newness and address international diffusion processes and providing some examples regarding international product life cycle. Overview
is the product life cycle? The PLC indicates that products have four things in common: (1) they have a limited lifespan; (2) their sales pass through a number of distinct stages, each of which has different characteristics, challenges, and opportunities; (3) their profits are not static but increase and decrease through these stages; and (4) the financial, human resource, manufacturing, marketing and purchasing strategies that products require at each stage in the life cycle varies (Kotler and Keller

For example oxygen in air is replenished through photosynthesis. Forests are maintained themselves and manually. Similarly, fresh water is available through cycles & manually too. Most of the removable resources are interdependent to each other. Forests maintain the environment/climate; plants need to check soil erosion
